Alright, Do I have the story to tell you guys, I'm laughing about it and P.O,ed at the same time. I hauled away my Uncles pool Sunday, and took it to the yard Monday around Lunch time after I got out of school early. The yard I go to is kind of narrow and not alot of space with all the tractor trailer traffic, vehicles, and machinery, and of course the piles filling up more and more making it even worst to move around. Well I go unload, I have to go around the yard and go through the scale again. I go around the scale building up to the garage where I take my non ferrous. Well theres a Tractor trailer diagonally parked I guess it was unloading cardboard, so there was a tri-axle sitting there with no one in it, There's this Pretty nice Ford F-250 I'd say about year 05 06 or 07. I park like 5 feet away from the f-250, and I knew I was gunna be there a while till the tractor trailer moved so I could get through, so I used my time wisely, my uncle gave me a bunch of lights that had cords attached to them that I started stripping the wire off on the spot, I was standing on the trailer front/bumper of my truck, as I'm stripping this, I see this old guy, I'd say about in his 60s walking down to his truck (F250). HE LOOKS RIGHT AT ME AND MY TRUCK. Well I don't think anything of it, I go back to stripping, the guy starts backing up, then I hear Crunch/screech and a jolt since I was standing on the trailer. This jackwagon backed up in to my trailer! That's not even the good part yet, the guy got his bumper stuck on the trailer, when this happened, I turned around and I was in shock and didn't say a word, the old dude gets out, looks at his truck, not saying a **** word to me, he gets back into his truck and starts trying to break free. Well I'm in even more shock at what this guy was doing, he had his bumper caught on the heavy hook tie downs the stick up between the back fender and the back tail light, He starts pulling my trailer to the point that its like 2 inches away from jack knifing on my truck and touching/denting the bumper, at this point I yell to him "YO! DumbA**! Stop! You're almost gonna damage my truck!", but at one point before this, the only thing he said to me was to start jumping up and down on my trailer so he could get free. I laughed right in his face on that one, back to the main story, after I yelled that, some of the yard guys take notice to what happen and at first they laugh at the guy, then see that he's hooked on my trailer, well they get a board and a heavy pipe and lift up the bumper of truck and get it free of my trailer. Well, guess what! When the jackwagon gets free, he just drives off!! Didn't say a word otherwise about it, not even "SORRY!", at this point I didn't think to get his plate or any credentials because my trailer was completely fine, the only thing he did to it was scratch a little bit of the rust/paint off, he didn't damage the tail light at all cause if he did, you know dang right that I'd be taking his creds to pay for it, well after the dude leaves, well after he leaves, I go back to stripping the wires pretty much laughing at what just happened, well I get done with that and decide to go around the yard the long way again to go to the garage door cause I was getting impatient with the tractor trailer, well, since the guy had my trailer pretty much jack knife it was a pain in the rear end to get that thing out, I had to forward, reverse, forward, reverse, over and over again turning as the lane/driving area was very narrow especiially for turning around with a trailer, especially a trailer that was pulled at a wierd angle, well to shorten this, I jack knifed my trailer attempting to get out of that position the guy put me in, I dented my bumper on my truck, nothing really major I mean but it still did damage to the truck and devalued it, I was P.O,ed at this point and didnt think it was funny anymore, I now just damaged my vehicle cause of some idiot at the scrap yard....
Anytime something like that happens, even ifo damage was done to my vehicle/trailer I'm still taking credentials... The things that flabbergast me the most is the guy looked straight at me when he was walking to his truck, and then backed in to it!
The funny parts about it, was that the dude almost ripped the bumper off of this pretty nice F-250, and he pretty much bent the crap out of his tail pipe too and I don't know about all the damage he did to the bumper but it was a lot. If he woulda ripped his bumper off, I woulda probably died laughing.
I never ever had an experience like this before, if I did get his credentials and wanted to be a you know what, and push the subject, I coulda probably got the guy to pay for a paint job on the trailer and probably a new bumper on my truck.
Sorry about this long message, I just wanted to rant about it.
